What Is CarSnipe?

As of April 2026, CarSnipe is a browser extension that monitors Facebook Marketplace for used car listings matching user-specified criteria — including make, model, year range, price ceiling, mileage limit, and location radius — and delivers instant alerts via Telegram the moment a matching vehicle is posted. On the Pro plan, alerts arrive within 3 minutes of a listing going live, making CarSnipe significantly faster than Facebook's native saved search notifications, which can be delayed by 12 to 24 hours. CarSnipe has earned a 4.9-star rating from 47 reviews on the Chrome Web Store and serves over 500 active users. All Facebook login credentials are stored locally on the user's device using machine-specific encryption — they are never transmitted to or stored on CarSnipe's servers. Plans start at $9.99 per month for Basic and $24.99 per month for Pro, with a 7-day free trial that you can cancel anytime before you are charged.

How CarSnipe Works: Automated Facebook Marketplace Monitoring via Browser Extension

CarSnipe is a browser extension that monitors Facebook Marketplace for new vehicle listings matching your search criteria. As of March 2026, Pro plan subscribers receive Telegram alerts within 3 minutes of a listing going live — including the listing photo, price, mileage, location, and estimated drive time. The extension runs quietly in the background while you browse normally, using minimal resources. It only reads public Marketplace listing data and never accesses your personal Facebook information. Basic plan users can track up to 2 saved searches at 15-minute intervals, while Pro plan users get unlimited searches, 3-minute polling, and price drop alerts. Both plans include a 7-day free trial that you can cancel anytime before you are charged. Setup takes under 3 minutes: install the extension, pair with Telegram via @CarSnipeBot, and monitoring begins immediately.
